What is love? What is hate?
Some hate love, some love to hate
Where I've gone is where I've been
And I've sure been to where I've gone
A little child gets blown away
Just another day in the city of rage
Black or with, rich or poor
Be sure to lock your front door

Life has taught me
It's an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Life has taught me
You can run but you can't hide

What I know is what I tell
What I tell you might not know
What I see I can't believe
I don't believe in what I see
American or African
Indian or mexican
Flesh and blood but different tribes
You know what I mean we're human beings

Life has taught me
It's an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Life has taught me
You can run but you can't hide

Life has taught me
It's an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Life has taught me
You can run but you can't hide
